The article raises a problem concerning the current state of Russian bureaucracy research from the early XIX century until the middle of the XX century with the use of the Regional archives of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The research part of the article raises three main issues connected with the problem definition: analyses of provincial bureaucracy genealogy; research of Orenburg governorate bureaucracy personal documents; revealing the specificity of new national elite personnel policy in the USSR. Research methodology is based on new local history or total microhistory with the use of Republic of Bashkortostan regional archives. The conclusion states all possible ways of further research connected with bureaucracy as of all-Russian process, where one of the Russian regions is used as an example of how the government policy influenced every social level from the XIX century until the middle of XX century. Research of developing soviet bureaucracy’s genealogy is one of the promising areas of modern locally-historical studies. A study indicates that still there are plenty of insufficiently explored things among provincial bureaucracy’s history of mid-level and especially low-level, including important aspects related to the sociocultural features of provincial bureaucracy. 2357-1330 © 2020 Published by European Publisher.

Introduction Searching for ways to advance modern historical studies, which are developing in two main paradigms of global and local human history’s parts, have helped to come to the common point called interdisciplinary study of human science. That means not only particular methods of humanitaristics are being utilized, but also various methods of history itself concerning two pointed areas. Bearing in mind contemporary trends of searching documentary material about forming a human being on basis of mundanity’s developing problems of historical figures that did not play a decisive role in global processes but did exist in their context, this article is supposed to give consideration to Russian history of the XIX – first half of XX centuries with the use of local materials of the republic of Bashkortostan’s Regional archive and some others (Arhivy Bashkortostana…, (2019). Russian historiography usually classifies regions history and especially the history of certain people from provincial societies as local history. But developing methods of work with archival material, and rejection of primitive narrative history in the form of chronological sequence of events, have changed the status and value of regional archival subjects for historical studies on problematic not only at local level, but also at the global one, which is higher than the pointed one. The first decade of the XX century saw many significant events which deeply affected Russian regions and their new power vertical. All the problems connected with research of bureaucracy as a political system have not interested our historians until the end of the XX century. Modern Russian historiography has faced the fact of the need for in-depth searches of archival documentary material, the use of an interdisciplinary approach to its interpretation. The main goal of this is to study one of the most private bureaucracy’s estates of the past and modern history of Russia. 2. Problem Statement The problem raised in the research is development and activities of Russian bureaucracy. This problem is quite new for Russian historiography. The first study of Russian bureaucracy history has been made by P. Zayonchkovsky, soviet scientist (Zayonchkovsky, 1978). Other studies have been made in the end of the XX century. We should note that the study subject of Russian historians has been the bureaucracy in Central Russia governorates (Ivanov, 1998; Shepelev, 1999). Since the beginning of the XXI century, the spectrum of Russian officialdom’s history studies has substantially extended on the backs of the local problems to procure dissertations for getting the Master’s degree (Pavljuk, 2001; Poskachey, 2006; Semin, 2016; Tokmakova, 2011), and also new works that were dedicated to the domestic life of the Bashkir official from the first half of the XIX century (Tagirova, 2017). This article raises a problem of bureaucracy research with the use of the Republic of Bashkortostan regional archives for two chronological periods. Since all recent local studies based on microhistory and everyday life history are connected with historical figures not mentioned in classic history that being taught in schools, we have stated that, firstly, the problem of a comprehensive study of the "little" man from the provincial state apparatus of the Russian Empire in the XIX century. Secondly, during the formation of the Soviet system, the possibility of a social breakthrough for the humans from the "bottom" by creating 665 https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2020.11.68 Corresponding Author: Tatyana Leonova Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN: 2357-1330 national and intellectual bureaucratic elite on the ground, in the former provinces of Russia in the first half of the XX century has been opened. It is commonly known that bureaucracy has officially become a social group in the XVIII century. In the end of this century a professional bureaucracy has been formed. It specialized in different areas and levels of government control. The main documents for studying genealogy of bureaucracy in Russia from the XIX until the early XX centuries are official lists (records of service) and bureaucrat’s personnel files (Genealogicheskaja informacija v gosudarstvennyh arhivah Rossii, 2019). There are also others sources of additional information: Rodoslovnye dvoryan Orenburgskoj gubernii; Zhurnaly zasedanij Orenburgskogo …, 2019). Great amount of sources allows the scientists study the region history of bureaucracy in the context of the global historical processes in Russia. 3. Research Questions The research tries to analyze three issues connected with socio-cultural role of bureaucracy in the provincial Russian history. The regional archives and new local history methods are used. The first issue is connected with revealing and analyzing the information about genealogy of Russian bureaucracy. Russian Regional Archives (for example, the National Archive of the Republic of Bashkortostan (Russian: Nauchnyj arhiv …, 2019) have a great amount of documents from the XVIII century connected with history and fates of a “little” man of landowning servicemen living somewhere in Orenburg governorate. Besides concise, short biographies from the books of genealogy, which initially demonstrate the development of new noble genealogy, there are great amounts of archival sources of social and personal origin that play an enormous role in learning typical behavioral patterns and mundanity of Russian nobility’s numerous gentry and high-ranking officials. The second issue is to analyze personal documents in the form of the microhistory of Luka Alekseyevitch Pakhomov, one of the representatives of Ufa district’s officialdom of the first half of the XIX century; and identification of the links between his activity and the global events in Russia that took place during Napoleonic Wars. The third issue is about the forming officialdom which was generated by the Soviet system by the case of Shagit Khudayberdin’s (Lichny fond Khudayberdina…, 2019), the party official, biography; and activity of Pyotr Fedorovich Ischerikov, the scientist-archeologist as an example of the intellectual functionary from the provincial academicals of the Soviet state’s system. The changed socio-political formation in Russia has definitely affected every social stratum. The words
